First SNOW of the Year!

Daddy takes the girls for a ride on the sled.


Emma and Natalie love making snow angels.



Olivia, you better watch out Natalie can throw a mean snowball.

The recent snow fall has been wonderful. So far, I haven't missed So Cal weather this year. I know the day will come when I do miss the hot California sun- when I'm stuck inside watching the snow fall and collect on the huge mounds of shoveled snow. But until that day comes watch out, here comes a snowball headed straight for ya!

Continuation of CA trip

You can't go to Cali without going to Disneyland! It was Emma's Birthday so she got to get in free. They gave her a birthday button to wear and everyone would wish her a happy birthday. She didn't quite know what to say when people acknowledged it was her birthday. she would just get bashful and turn to me. Emma really did love the attention though!

Natalie's favorite ride was the carousal, Emma loved Dumbo and the Caterpillar ride and Olivia loved them all. We were all exhausted by closing time (8 o'clock) but Disney decided to extend the hours to 9 or 10. Natalie fell asleep in the gift shop and after going to Sea World and the beach the previous couple of days, we left at 8.

CA Vacation

We absolutely had a blast going back to CA to visit family and seeing the sights. We first ventured to Sea World and the girls enjoyed all the animals. We even went on the "Atlantis" ride. It was pretty intense for little kids, however they loved it. Feeding the sting rays was a fav of everyone. I think Emma was the most daring of the kids. She loved doing everything. We went to the beach and had a bonfire, roasted hot dogs and had smores. The water was warm but the wicked wind made it cold. My sister Sarah and her family joined us throughout our stay, it was fun kickin it with fam.
